Staff Accountant

Staff Accountant - Construction/Homebuilding

We're hiring a full-time, in-person, Staff Accountant to own the financial operations of a fast-growing real estate development and homebuilding company across multiple entities. This isn't property management bookkeeping — this is construction and development accounting: job costing, draw schedules, lien waivers, budget-to-actual tracking on every project, and monthly closes across 4+ companies.

You'll also play a key role in our capital strategy — working directly with banks, construction lenders, and other financing sources to support debt and equity capital needs, manage lender relationships, and help negotiate and expand vendor credit terms as we scale.

You'll be the first dedicated finance hire on the team. Right now, our Office Manager handles bookkeeping on top of closings, material ordering, and construction financing coordination — she needs a finance counterpart, not an assistant. You'll take full ownership of the books, clean up the backlog, and build the monthly close process from scratch.

This is a ground-floor opportunity . We're growing fast, and you'll be building out the financial systems, processes, and controls that the company runs on. As we scale, this role grows into a Controller position with a seat at the strategy table and a finance team underneath you.

The role is in person and has some schedule flexibility for the right candidate. Based at our main office in a historic downtown building.

Compensation                           

• $60,000–$75,000 base salary, depending on experience
• Health insurance benefits and schedule flexibility
• Clear growth path to Controller as the company scales
• Direct involvement in financial strategy — not just data entry
• Small, high-impact team where your work is visible and matters

$60,000 - $75,000 DOE

• Job costing — track costs per development project and construction build against budget, flag overruns, and report gross profit per project
• Accounts payable — process POs, subcontractor invoices, lien waiver collection, and
